Maybe it's because I love character driven stories and I could tell the writer took the time to create complex characters to move the relationship forward. There's a lot of pain in this anime for sure lol but because it was well written (IMO of course), you could understand the motives of each person. You could forgive the eternal screw up (Yano). And actually the most troubled character was my favorite. lol He wasn't perfect, neither was Takahashi but you could see why they are perfect together. Their relationship continues to get stronger, despite their differences. The animation was kinda wierd sometimes but considering the stories emphasis on memories, I took it as a very artistic approach to the anime genre. Memories can be very abstract and that's why it fit for me. I think the Manga is a definite must, but tragic. I'm hopeful for a happy ending though. Great Review.

Nothin' beats a real Shinkai movie, though. 5 Centimeters Per Second totally blew me away... that, along with Millennium Actress, are easily my two favorite anime movies EVER, by a HUGE margin. -Tom I meant that ef had that Shinkai FEEL to it, and was obviously emulating his style… and with Tenmon doing the music, it was even MORE Shinkai-esque.

Anyway... "But then, I’m also a huge Makoto Shinkai fan, and ef was practically a Shinkai work, so I guess that kinda stands to reason!" No it wasn't, he did the opening for the game, that's it.

If you have the time to go back and watch Bokura ga Ita, you TOTALLY have the time to go back and watch Planetes, right? ;) And I seriously think you will *ADORE* that show. Just be sure to give it a fighting chance... while I liked it from episode one, a lot of people I know didn't really start to fall in love with it until episode five or six. Either way, though, it's a must-see! -Tom BTW, I’m going to keep bugging you every now and again until you watch Planetes!

For about 90% of the time, she's just staring at things and whispering "Yano..." talk about being stalkerish... The whole series was like a "Honey and Clover"-wannabe.

Basically, there was one incident about 3/4 of the way through where Nanami stopped being a sympathetic character for me, and where I started to ACTIVELY DISLIKE HER. And while there's something to be said for the writing quality necessary to achieve that, it made the last few episodes really difficult to watch - they weren't just frustrating, they were ENRAGING, and I really wanted Yano to give the b*tch what-for. ;) Up until that turning point, however, I liked it quite a bit. But in the end, I thought ef -a tale of memories- did a better job making me care about deeply flawed characters... and was just a better show in general IMHO. But then, I'm also a huge Makoto Shinkai fan, and ef was practically a Shinkai work, so I guess that kinda stands to reason! ... Then again, Bokura ga Ita was an Akitarou Daichi work, and I LOVE Akitarou Daichi's stuff... so yeah... I dunno what I'm saying. Just ignore me. ;) Heheheheheh... -Tom I liked this show at first, but it really fell apart for me in the end.

I didn't want to watch an abusive relationship like theirs continue. I’m surprised you didn’t mention the male lead instead — Nana had her issues, but he was the reason I dropped the show.

Definitely in close competition with KareKano. I adored Nanami's voice (Sasaki Nozomi). Her uncertainty and insecurity didn't bother me. They seemed like a kind of real life I'm familiar with. And as annoying as the lead male was, he was also fascinating. It was perfectly clear why she was attracted to him, and vice-versa. This may be the best romance anime I’ve ever seen.

It's a reasonably good story, more-complex-than-usual characters, and I like the art style quite a bit, but the angst blew the top of my head off. It wrung me out like a sponge, for some reason. I dropped it after ep9, after my chest started to hemorrhage. Call me weak, but there is enough sadness, disappointment, longing, and misunderstanding in real life -- I do not have the moral fiber to voluntarily subject myself to it in anime. (For the same reason, I will not touch Air with a ten foot barge pole.) But a lot of people like that stuff, so bon appetit, I say. Just let me leave the room first. ^^ Let’s be fair, the lead male character often is an exasperating asshat too. ^^ (can’t remember his name)
